Online Manual • Supports up to a 2000 User Database • Allows Viewing of 40,000 Event Audit Logs • Account and Database Utilities

• Compact and Repair Database • Import / Export • Rename Accounts • Search Feature-to Quickly and Easily

Find Users New Features for Version 3.5.X

(Note: The "X" denotes any release of ver-sion 3.5). • LockID (see page 21). "Door Numbers"

are now referred to as "LockID's", with Ac-counts in DL-Windows v3.5.X now able to accommodate up to a maximum of 2000 locks. Each LockID is unique to each lock, ensuring the validity of data and that each lock is matched to the correct data when programmed.

• Global Administrative Users (see page 30). A new "Set Administrative Users"

button simplifies the organization of those special Users possessing a greater range of programming abilities. All Users desig-nated as "Administrative Users" will be identical for all locks within the Account.

• Individual Group Assignments (see page 16) Group Support: A single user can be assigned to different Groups in dif-ferent locks within an Account

• Creating and Cloning Multiple Locks (see page 15). Allows you to save time when creating a new lock. Cloning dupli-cates all schedules and Users pro-grammed from an existing lock. You can clone up to 2000 locks of the same lock type. Note: All models can be cloned into all other models, with the following ex-ceptions: DL2800 and DL3000 locks can only clone each other, and the DL3500 can only clone itself.

New Features for Version 3.6.0

• Daylight Saving Time (see page 33-34). The manner in which Daylight Saving Time (DST) is observed varies with loca-tion, therefore the DST adjustment is fully flexible to accommodate these regional differences.

Double-ended Mini Banana Plug Connector (supplied) After you create the program in DL-Windows and transfer the program from your computer to an AL-DTM, transfer the program from the AL-DTM to the lock(s) via a double-ended mini banana plug. You can also use this cable to transfer the Lock Program from your lock to an AL-PRE.

DB9 to DB9 Serial Cable (supplied) Enroll ProxCards quickly into DL-Windows, then transfer this new ProxCard® data from the computer to the AL-PRE via this 9-pin DB9 to DB9 serial cable. Once the data is in the AL-PRE, you can transfer the data to the lock via the double-ended mini banana plug (see above), thus avoiding the need to use an AL-PCI2 cable for this process.

AL-PCI2 Cable An ALARM LOCK AL-PCI2 cable is required to communicate between your computer’s RS-232 serial commu-nications port (COM 1-4) and the AL-DTM or lock. One end of the AL-PCI2 cable is designed to be plugged into a DB-9 male 9-pin serial COM port. If your computer has a 25-pin COM port only, a 25-pin to 9-pin adapter must be used. The other end of the AL-PCI2 cable features a 2-pin banana plug connector which is polarity sensitive--the TAB (marked “GND”) side must be plugged into the lock’s black (left) terminal.

DK3000 / PDK3000 Relay-only locking device, 2000 Users, 500 schedules, 40,000 Audit Trail events. The PDK3000 adds Prox capability.

DL / PDL4100 ("Privacy") DL / PDL4500 ("Residency") The "Residency" feature is specially designed to prevent unintentional lock-out, and the "Privacy" feature is designed to deny access to other users after an individual enters. Refer to WI1194 and WI1195 for more information.

All supported locks:

• DL1200 • DL1300 • DL2800 • DL3000 • DL3200 • DL3500 • DL4100

Overview Why Use Software Inside a Lock? With ordinary door locks, the need to make physical copies of metal keys and distributing them can be a huge organizational and financial task -- and what will you do if someone causes a security breach by losing their key? The answer lies in the advantage of software.

Software (also called firmware) is not "hard" or "fixed" like hardware is. Software is flexible and changeable to your needs. Soft-ware exists inside your Alarm Lock™ series lock, and can be programmed (and re-programmed again and again) to suit your changing requirements. No more metal keys to distribute...instead, distribute User Codes -- and delete them from the software when needed. (A User Code is the software equivalent of a metal key--it is a series of numbers the User presses into the lock keypad keys to unlock the lock). (Note: The PL3000 does not have a keypad---see WI1280).

Preparing to Program your Lock There are two ways to make changes to the software inside your lock--either by using the lock keypad or by using DL-Windows. Although using DL-Windows makes programming faster and easier, we recommend you familiarize yourself with the general concepts of keypad programming as well. The first step to programming your lock without DL-Windows requires that you enter something called "Program Mode".

What is Program Mode? The software inside the lock has only two "modes"--Normal Mode and Program Mode. When you want to make changes to the lock program, you enter Program Mode. When you finish programming and wish to put the lock into use, you exit Program Mode to enter Normal Mode.

Use the keypad to enter Program Mode by pressing the Master Code of the lock that was set at the factory (see the Program-ming Instructions of the individual lock for more information). The Master Code is like a secret password that allows you to enter Program Mode. But since all locks are identical and leave the factory with the same Master Code, the factory Master Code is not very secret and should be changed to your own personal Master Code. This way, only YOU can enter Program Mode and make changes to the lock programming.

With most locks, changes to the lock are organized by their Function Number. Want to change the date inside the lock? Use Function Number 38. Want to add a User Code? Use Function Number 2.

With DL-Windows, you first use the various DL-Windows computer screens to make the programming selections, then later you send the programming selections from your computer to the lock's memory. You do this by clicking the Comm button in DL-Windows and selecting Send to Lock (see image at right). You can also use DL-Windows to receive programming from a lock, allowing you to observe the lock programming inside DL-Windows. Because your lock can be programmed using DL-Windows, and then using the keypad, DL-Windows will detect changes made by the keypad, and will alert you to these discrepancies in a screen named Lock Differ-ences. See page 23 for more information.

The Global Users Screen Perhaps the most significant part of DL-Windows is the Global Users screen and the concept of an "Account". An Account can be thought of as simply a building in which Alarm Lock locks are installed. If there are 55 locks in this building, and one person needs access to all of those locked doors, it would be convenient to assign that person one User Code to remember, and to enter their name in the computer only once---rather than having to enter their name 55 times. The Global Users screen was developed for this very reason--to support the concept of an Account, allowing a User Name to be entered only once, and to allow you--the person in charge of the locks--to sit back and assign this User to all locks in an Account with just a few clicks of the computer mouse.

Turn the page and learn the special terminology used with your lock, then use the Quick Start checklist on page 11 to help you get started.

DL-Windows System Requirements This application has been tested and approved for an IBM-compatible P4 1.6 GHz computer with 256MB RAM and a minimum of 100MB of hard drive space running Microsoft Windows 98, 2000 or XP with one unused RS-232 Serial Communications port (COM 1-4) required. If a COM port is unavailable, please contact customer support for one of our USB adapters (PCI-USB or ALPCI2-U). Depending on your system de-mands, a slower PC may function properly but with significant user inter-face problems, including long intervals for the system to respond.

DL-Windows DL-Windows is a computer program that allows you to program your ALARM LOCK T3 Security Lock. You do not need DL-Windows to program your lock, but it makes programming much faster and easier. With DL-Windows, you can quickly create Lock Programs (programs that make the lock perform its many functions) add multiple Users (who have access), add ProxCards® and ProxKey® keyfobs, retrieve event logs, and create Schedules. The benefit of DL-Windows is that it allows you to set up all lock programming in advance (on your computer), and then send the information to the locks at your convenience.

This Users Guide to DL-Windows will guide you through all aspects of the lock--from the software installation procedure through the creation of a Lock Program, from the transfer of lock programming to the viewing of lock event logs.

ALARM LOCK makes a variety of computer interfaced microprocessor-based programmable keypad-entry and ProxCard® security locks: DL3000, DL3500 and PDL Series Access Control Locks. DL Windows works with them all. Users A User is a person who is authorized to simply use or make certain programming changes to the lock. This User can be anyone--from a one-time visitor (who will almost certainly have no authority to make changes) to the owner of the building in which the lock is installed (who will probably wish to have total authority to make changes). Most PDL Series locks can hold up to 2000 Users in its programming memory, and each User possesses a pre-defined level of authority--a Programming Level--as to their ability to use or make changes to the lock. Lock Program A Lock Program contains the instructions that a lock uses to perform its various functions. You can use DL-Windows to create a Lock Program on your computer, and then transfer and store the Program in the circuitry contained inside the lock itself. The Lock Program is essentially a computer database file that maintains feature settings, schedules, audit trails, etc. Using DL Windows, Lock Programs can be created with default information, edited on your PC, and then sent to (and even received from) locks.

The Lock Program consists of 4 areas: User Codes, Features, Time Zones, and Schedules, all defined below: User Codes Also called User Access Codes or PIN No. Codes, User Codes are numbers the User enters into the lock keypad to unlock the lock. Using DL-Windows, Users are matched with their own individual User Codes. The User Codes are part of the Lock Program, and the Lock Program is stored in the lock circuitry awaiting the Users to key in their User Codes. Features Your lock is designed to support several options and functions. Using the Programmable Features window, you can select the features you wish to activate, such as if the lock will automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time in the spring and autumn, or if the lock sounder should be disabled or enabled. TimeZones Events (recorded lock activities) can be programmed to occur at certain times. It is these times (for example, “every Tuesday at 5PM”) that are referred to as TimeZones. You use the Schedule-

TimeZone screen to create these TimeZones, and once created, you can link events to these TimeZones. Note: The Schedule-TimeZone screen is "Global"--when a new TimeZone is created, it can be used for all locks in an Account. For more information, see page 20. Schedules Your lock can be programmed to maintain a schedule in which certain events can occur automatically. For example, you can program the lock to allow Groups of Users (with their User Codes) access ONLY during specific business hours. With another example, you can program another lock to UNLOCK at 9am, LOCK at noon for lunch, UNLOCK at 1pm, and LOCK again at 5pm--every weekday. As you can see, many different combinations of Schedules can be created to suit the needs of the Users. First you create TimeZones (see above) with the Schedule-TimeZone screen. Next you create events and link them to your TimeZones (also with the Schedule-TimeZone screen). When finished, you can view your schedule in the Schedule View screen. Programming Levels The Programming Level defines the range of programming tasks a User is allowed to perform. For most locks, the higher the Level, the more programming tasks the User is allowed (with the Master allowing ALL tasks for all locks). Note: For the DL2800/DL3000 series locks, the Programming Levels are slightly different. See "Set Level Assignment" explanation on page 30 and also the DL2800/DL3000 programming manuals for more information.

Note: Since the Programming Level is closely associated with the type of User and their abilities, a User who holds a certain Programming Level is sometimes referred to by their “User Type”.

For example, some locks can hold up to 2000 Users in its programming memory, and each User is associated with a User Number (see definition of "User Number" on the next page) and therefore a specific Programming Level, as shown in the following list of "Administrative Users":

Master: Always associated with User Number 1. Is always enabled and can program all functions. (Abbreviated as Programming Level = M).

Installer: Always associated with User Numbers 2 and 3. Can program all functions except changing the Master Code. (Abbreviated as Programming Level = 4).

Manager: Always associated with User Numbers 4, 5, and 6. Can program all functions except functions relating to lock configuration. (Abbreviated as Programming Level = 3).

Supervisor: Always associated with User Numbers 7, 8 and 9. Can only program functions relating to day to day operation. (Abbreviated as Programming Level = 2).

Print Only Users: Always associated with User Numbers 10 & 11. Restricted to print event logs only. No other programming ability allowed. (Abbreviated as Programming Level = 1).

Basic Users: Always associated with User Number 12 and higher (except 297-300). No programming ability allowed.

Programming Levels are hierarchical--higher levels are allowed to do anything the levels below them can do. For example, if you are a Manager, you are allowed to do anything that Supervisors, Print-Only Users and Basic Users can do in addition to those tasks allowed for Managers (Level 3). (Not applicable to the DL2800/DL3000).

Terminology

(continued)

8

Minimum Required Program Level This Programming Level abbreviation is the minimum programming level required to access the particular Function. (The higher the level number, the more programming tasks the User is allowed, with Master allowing all tasks). In this manual, Programming Levels are abbreviated as follows: M = Master, 4 = Installer, 3 = Manager, 2 = Supervisor, 1 = Print Only Users User Numbers (User Number = Location Number = User Location = Slot in Lock) User Numbers are used and are significant within each individual lock only. The User Number determines the Programming Level for each User. For example, many locks can hold up to 2000 Users in its programming memory. This memory can be thought of as simply a numbered list from 1 through 2000. Each entry in the list is represented by a User Number. Therefore, where a User is located in this list--their User Location--is a commonly used description of their User Number. Because of their similarities, a User Number, User Location and Location Number can be used interchangeably. In some DL-Windows screens, the word "Slot" is also used.

Since User Numbers are fixed, knowing a User Number will specify the associated Programming Level, and will in turn indicate a User’s programming abilities. For example, User Number 1 is always the Master, who can perform all programming tasks.

Programming Levels are hierarchical--higher levels are allowed to do anything the levels below them can do. For example, if you are User 2, you are allowed to do anything that Users 3 through 2000 can do. Some DL series locks can hold up to 300 Users in its memory, however, the definition of a User Number is the same for these locks as well. (Not applicable to the DL2800/DL3000). Groups With many lock applications, it is convenient for large numbers of similar Users to be grouped together. Placing Users into Groups (by assigning them specific User Numbers) allows large numbers of Users to be controlled all at once rather than individually--saving time and effort. Groups are controlled via schedules, and a typical example involves enabling or disabling a Group at a certain time. For example, if you wish to add a User to Group 1, assign this User a User Number between 51 and 100. Default Group associations (see the lock programming instructions for details) can be changed if needed to allow Groups larger than the default number. In addition, a single User can be assigned to different Groups in different locks within an Account. See page 16 for more information. Users 297-300 Many locks have Users assigned to User Numbers 297, 298, 299 and 300. These User Numbers have special abilities, as follows:

User 297: Quick Enable User 300 User 297 possesses the unique ability to enable the User Code associated with User 300. User 297 does this by first entering their own User 297 User Code into the lock keypad. When User 300 subsequently enters their User 300 User Code, the lock allows access (for one time) and then the User 300 User Code becomes disabled.

For example, you wish to allow one-time access to a temporary worker. Simply enter the User 297 User Code into the lock keypad. Later, when the temporary worker enters the User 300 User Code into the lock keypad, the User 300 User Code allows

access (for one time only) and then becomes disabled. Later, if you wish to grant the temporary worker re-access, simply re-enter the User 297 User Code and the User 300 User Code will be re-enabled (again for one time only). Note: User 297 is not used with the DL2800/DL3000 locks, but Function 9 can be used with the DL2800/DL3000 locks as an alternative.

User 298: Quick PC Access Code Entering the User Code for User 298 enables that User to send data to or from the lock. Therefore, User 298 can activate what is the equivalent of Function 58 in Program Mode (see the lock programming instructions for details), without the need to enter Program Mode nor the need to know the Master Code of the lock. An AL-PCI2 cable with a PC is required. NOTE: The User Code for User 298 is not an Access Code and is not used with the DL2800/DL3000 locks.

User 299: AL-DTM Code This is the only User Code that will initiate data transfer with the AL-DTM--and without allowing the User to pass through the door (the User Code for User 299 is not an Access Code). An AL-PCI2 cable and an AL-DTM (first programmed by the computer via the DTM screen in DL-Windows) is required.

User 300: Temporary Access Temporary access User Code enabled by User 297. For example, User Code 300 is sometimes used for guard tour duties. See User 297: Quick Enable User 300 above. Note: User 297 is not used with the DL2800/DL3000 locks, but Function 9 can be used with the DL2800/DL3000 locks as an alternative.

Accounts Technically, an Account is a DL-Windows computer database file that allows you to organize and maintain multiple lock installations. But in practical terms, an Account is often named after the building or company location in which a lock or multiple locks have been installed. For example, the Account Name might be “Overbrook Hospital” and listed in that Account are the 4 locks you just installed on the 7th floor. In DL-Windows, Accounts can be created, edited, cloned and deleted. The benefit of an Account is that it allows you to add the name of a User ONCE and then assign that User to multiple locks within a building--rather than having to enter and re-enter the same User information again and again for each lock in your building. Enter the name of the User once in the Global Users screen, then sit back and assign that User to the locks you wish --with just a click of the mouse. Global ID Numbers Note: The Global ID number can be hidden from view. See page 16 to show or hide the Global ID number. A Global ID is used within the DL-Windows Global Users screen and is Account specific--it remains constant within Accounts only. A Global ID is not related to User Numbers nor Programming Levels. The Global Users screen simply lists all potential Users within an Account (which can contain up to 2000 locks).

DL-Windows keeps track of each "Global User" listed in the Global Users screen by use of the Global ID number, but its significance ends there--it acts as an internal designation only.

Quick Start Checklist

12

Click Start, select Programs, select the DL-Windows Program Group, then click on DL-Windows 3.X.X. After a few moments, the following screen will appear: When opening DL-Windows for the first time (without any Accounts), the popup will appear, directing you to right-click in the white pane (the Account Tree area at the left) and select New Account. From this main screen you can create new Accounts, add locks to the Accounts, transfer data to and from locks, and perform all other needed tasks. Before starting, you will first need to select a Com port through which (via a wire cable) your computer and the locks will be connected.

Installing DL-Windows Software AL-PCI2 Setup

The comm port refers to a serial port located at the back of your computer that is used to communicate with the lock. Connect an AL-PCI2 cable (or the supplied 9-pin DB9 to DB9 serial cable) to an unused comm port at the back of your computer. Leave the other end of either cable unconnected. Select Tools, Comm Port Setup and Test. This Comm Test utility allows the DL-Windows software to detect which Com Port is connected to the cable. The first comm port that passes the DL-Windows automatic detection test will be selected. When finished, click Exit. Note: If you are not using COM1, you must run this utility to identify the active comm port.

Starting DL-Windows

Note: Uninstall any previous version of DL-Windows before Installing DL-Windows. Account data associated with previous installations will remain intact, with the exception of Prox devices (see warning below). Use the Update Database

utility on databases created using prior versions of DL-Windows. Please read the readme.txt file for the latest information about DL-Windows. See page 6 for DL-Windows System Requirements.

1. Place DL-Windows CD into the CD-ROM drive. The DL-Windows InstallShield Wizard will automatically begin the installation process.

2. If the Wizard installation process does not automatically begin, click Start, Run and type the following: D:\Program\English\setup.exe, where D is the Drive Letter associated with the CD-ROM. For installations other than English, please read the Setup.txt file located on the installation CD.

3. The Installation program will prompt you regarding the ReadMe file, and the installation destination folder on your hard drive. When installation is complete, you will be asked to reboot your computer.

DL-Windows Software Installation

NOTE: This section applies only to Accounts and locks cre-ated with previous versions of DL-Windows. For new Ac-counts, please ignore the following instructions. Open the Import Utility application by clicking Start, Programs, DL-Windows, Import Utility. The Import Utility application is independent of DL-Windows and allows the database files (Accounts) of previous versions of DL-Windows to be upgraded to the latest version of DL-Windows. When running old Account database files in DL-Windows, you may encounter a pop-up message (shown below) requesting you run the Import Utility to update your Account files: When first started, the Import Utility application defaults to the directory where your current working DL-Windows files are lo-cated (this directory is set from the DL-Windows Options screen). Note: If your computer stores your database files in more than one directory, you must run the Import Utility and update the files in each of these directories. Click the Open button to select the directory the Import Utility will use.

When selecting your database files, the Files of type pull-down menu lists two file types: • New DL-Windows Index files • Old DL-Windows Index files

The Old file type is listed as AL3000.MDB and the New file type is listed as AcctList.adf. After selecting the file type, the Upgrade Utility determines which operation needs to be performed (either Update or Im-port) and enables the appropriate button to perform the needed operation. Regardless of the operation performed, the Upgrade Utility will create a new sub-directory named Original Files containing a backup of your original unchanged Account files. Should your upgrade operation not complete properly, the application will restore these original files back to the main directory. Once Update or Import is selected, the Upgrade Utility will start to run and, depending on the file sizes and quantity, the process may take a while. Some older Accounts with many locks could take more than ten minutes to complete, while oth-ers may only take a few seconds. When the Upgrade Utility is complete, a message box appears indicating the status of the upgrade.

The DL-Windows software provides security and protection features to restrict unauthorized persons from accessing your DL-Windows program. When starting DL-Windows, a user name and password are required to access the program. Creating user names re-quires a User Type be selected, (either Operator or Adminis-trator). This User Type determines the range of tasks allowed within DL-Windows. Creating authorized users should be the first step in programming the DL-Windows software. Note: For Operators, all administrative functions are grayed-out within both the Global Users screen and the Options screen. In addition, the functions listed below are accessible by Ad-ministrators only:

1. Click Tools, Manage Users to open the Manage Users screen.

2. In the Manage Users screen, click Action, Add User (or press CTRL+A).

3. In the Add User dialog (shown below), type a User Name and a Full Name in the fields provided (the User Name will appear on the Log-On screen when starting DL-Windows).

4. Select the access level by checking either Operator or Ad-ministrator in the User Type area. Users can be created but disabled by simply un-checking Enable User.

5. Enter a password (at least 4 characters) in the Password field and re-type the password in the Confirm field to ver-ify.

6. When finished, click OK to save, or click Cancel to discard your changes.

To edit existing users: 1. Either click Action, Edit User, press CTRL+ E, or double-

click the user to open the Edit User dialog. 2. All existing information can be edited, and when finished,

click OK to save or click Cancel to discard your changes.

To delete an existing user: 1. Click to highlight the user in the Manage Users screen. 2. Click Action, Delete User or press CTRL+ D. 3. A confirmation popup will appear. 4. Click Yes to confirm the deletion, and click No to retain the

user.

1. Click to highlight the user in the Manage Users screen,

then click Action, Set Password (or press CTRL+ P). 2. In the Change Password dialog, type the existing pass-

word in the Old Password field, type a new password in the New Password field and re-type the same new pass-word in the Confirm field.

3. Press Enter on your keyboard to accept the changes.

DL-Windows can utilize a Security Password to safeguard against an unscrupulous person with knowledge of your AL-DTM or PC download code. The Security Password prevents an unauthorized user from reprogramming your installed locks with their own copy of DL-Windows. Entering this password into DL-Windows prior to initial programming of your locks copies the password to a special area within the locks. The password never needs to be entered again. Subsequent com-munication between DL-Windows, the AL-DTM and your locks will automatically check for this password. If a different copy of DL-Windows is used to program your locks, the passwords will not match and no data transfer will take place. Once this Security Password is stored within your installed locks, the only way to change the Security Password is to erase all lock programming for each lock (re-loading the factory default pro-gram) and then re-program each lock with a new Security Password.

The Security Password ensures that only your copy of DL-Windows can communicate with your locks. The Security Password also makes certain that your copy of DL-Windows must be used to program the AL-DTM in order for it to ex-change information with your locks.

If desired (but not recommended), the use of more than one copy of DL-Windows is possible--provided that the same pass-word is entered in all copies of DL-Windows. To program the Security Password: 1. Click Tools, Set Security Password. 2. Before entering any information, be sure to write down the

password to be used and save in a secure location. Once the Security Password is entered into the program, it can-not be retrieved.

3. In the Set Security Password dialog, type a unique 6-character password in the New Password field.

4. Re-type the same password in the Confirm field. 5. Click OK to save, or click Cancel to discard your changes.

Right Click Menu

Select an Account, double-click a lock and right-click in the Account Tree area. The following menu appears:

New Account and New Lock are described above. Clone Account allows you to save time when creating a new Account by duplicating all information in an existing Account, with the ex-ception of the lock information. Therefore, after cloning an Account, new locks must be added, but all names, Prox Card and other data in the Global Users Screen will be duplicated. Select Delete Account when you wish to remove an Account from DL-Windows perma-nently. Press Yes in the warning dialog only after you verify the Ac-count to be deleted.

Clone Lock allows you to save time when creating a new lock. Cloning duplicates in the new lock all schedules and Users pro-grammed from an existing lock. When cloning, the Clone Lock Data screen appears (below), which is very similar to the New Lock screen shown previously. In the Number of Locks to Create? field, click the drop-down list to clone up to 2000 locks of the same lock type. Note: All models can be cloned into all other models, with the following exceptions: DL2800 and DL3000 locks can only clone each other, and the DL3500 can only clone itself.

Select Delete Lock when you wish to remove the lock from the Account permanently. Press Yes in the warn-ing dialog only after you verify the lock to be deleted. Note: You cannot de-lete the last lock of an Account.

Select Rename when you wish to rename the lock description of the selected lock.

Add Users with the Global Users Screen Overview The Global Users screen is used to enter all User information. Users can be assigned to specific locks and assigned to Groups within locks. All Basic Users are entered here as well as the Level Assignment for DL3000/2800 locks. User lists can be imported from other DL-Windows Accounts or from comma delimited formatted lists. Administrative Users can be accessed through the Global Users screen via the Add Administrative Users button. Please see page 29 for the Global Users screen layout and field descriptions. Add Users and User Codes As displayed in the image below, type the first and last name of a User in the User Information Fields, and enter the remaining personal information as needed. Note that the names entered in the First Name and Last Name fields also appear in the User Name list. Note: A specific PIN Number ("User Code") may be typed in the Pin No. field for each User --or-- random User Codes may be auto-generated for one or many Users by right-clicking in the User Name list.

Note: The ID column in the User Name list is used for identifying Users in this screen only and is NOT associated with positions in the Lock Data screen. For this reason, if displaying these numbers is confusing, this column may be hidden using the Options screen (see page 41 for more information).

The LockID Grid displays LockID numbers and is color-coded to describe the state of the selected User:

• Green = User entered in the lock and enabled • Red = User entered in the lock but disabled • White = User not in the lock

Double-click on a LockID Grid number to cycle through the colors of the LockID number (from white to green to red and back to white) thus adding, disabling or removing a User as needed. In this way, the LockID Grid can be used to add a User to any lock in an Account. One or multiple Users can also be added to one or more locks via the right-click menu in the User Name list.

Select a Range of Users To select a range of Users, click to select the first User, press and hold the SHIFT key, then click the last User in the range. Within the range of Users highlighted, right-click in the highlighted area to display the User Name list right-click menu. Click a selected action in the menu to perform the action for the selected Users. See the following image: Random User Code Generation Random User Codes may be generated for one or many Users. (Note: To avoid User Number conflicts, it is recommended to first assign specific User Codes to Users before selecting random User Code generation). To generate random Codes, press and hold the CTRL key, click the right arrow ("►") located to the left of the User Name to select each User(s), then right-click and select “Generate Selected New Codes”. To select a range of Users, click to select the first User, press and hold the SHIFT key, then click the last User in the range. Similarly, click Generate All New Codes to create new codes for all Users. Adding a User to a Group/Level Click on the Set Group Assignment button to display this screen: In the above dialog, rows represent Groups and columns represent locks (the number above each column is the LockID number). Double-click in the grid to add the User to a Group in a single lock (hold down the Ctrl key to allow single-click entry). To save time, check the appropriate check box to add the User to the same Group in all locks. The same procedures apply to the Set Level Assignment button and Set Level Assignment For User screen (note that Levels are only associated with the DL3000 and DL2800 locks). Administrative Users The Add Administrative Users button displays the Set Administrative Users screen. Administrative Users are the same for all locks within an Account. Enter information the same way as if adding a basic User.

Schedules are customized by the use of two screens. The first is the Schedule - Timezone screen. Click the Sched button or click Window, Schedules to open. Use the Schedule - Timezone screen to create schedules. Just as each schedule consists of two main parts: the action the lock will perform (an event) and a time the event will occur (a TimeZone), the Schedule - Timezone screen contains two main sections:

• A TimeZone section (top) - Allows the creation of TimeZones, i.e. the time(s) the events in the schedule will take place

• A Schedule Entry section (bottom) - Allows the selection of events the lock will perform and links events to TimeZones.

The second screen is the Schedule View screen. Click the SchV button or click Window, Schedule View to open. The Schedule View screen separates the TimeZone(s) for each schedule, clearly displaying ALL parts of the schedule. The Schedule View screen also displays the schedule as it is executed by the lock programming. Although the previously described Schedule -

Timezone screen may display only limited TimeZone information, the complete schedule may in fact consist of multiple events depending on how the TimeZone was created. Therefore the Schedule View screen

is very useful in that it presents the "complete picture", displaying all parts of the schedule, for each schedule you have to work with.

Note: Schedules are local to the lock and not shared, while TimeZones are global and will appear in all lock configurations within an Account.

When selecting the events and TimeZones for your schedules, you may need to specify the User or Group ID in order to complete the event. The Description field is used to display descriptive text for identification purposes only. The Event Number records and monitors ALL events stored or sent to the lock.

Schedules can be single-ended or double-ended: single-ended schedules have a start time only; double-ended schedules have both a start and stop time. Most schedules are double-ended.

An example of a single-ended schedule is a single "Lock" event with the TimeZone 1 start time set to 5:00 PM only. This schedule will cause the device to lock every day at 5:00 PM. An example of a double-ended schedule is an "Unlock" event with the TimeZone 1 start time set to 8:00 AM and the stop time set to 5:00 PM. This schedule will cause the device to unlock every day at 8:00 AM and lock at 5:00 PM.

Unlock – Device unlocks at programmed time. Lock – Device locks at programmed time. Disable Group – All Users within specified Group become disabled at

the programmed time. Enable Group - All Users within specified Group become enabled at

the programmed time. Disable User –Specified User is disabled at programmed time. Enable Group - Specified User is enabled at programmed time. Passage Mode by Group 1- Open Window – Places device into

Passage Mode (unlocked state) when a member of Group 1 enters their User Code. The Start Time opens the timeframe where the Group 1 member can enter their code, the Stop Time ends the timeframe (closes the window).

Note: If a Group 1 member has placed the device into Passage Mode, the device will not exit Passage Mode automatically. Be sure to lock manually or schedule a single-ended Lock event to coincide with the End Time.

Relay Activation by Group 1 – Open Window – Sets a timeframe where if a Group 1 member enters their User Code, a relay activation is sent. An example application of the relay is to disarm an alarm control panel.

Enable Group 4 by Group 1- Open Window – Sets a timeframe where if a Group 1 member enters their User Code, all members of Group 4 will become enabled.

Note: Group 4 will remain enabled if a Group 1 member has entered within the specified time. Be sure to disable Group 4 manually, or schedule a single-ended Disable Group event to coincide with the End Time.

The Schedule View screen can be used to verify the full details of each schedule, allowing you to review the arrangement of the start and stop times for each event. The Schedule View screen is also intended to be used to view existing schedules received from installed locks.

There are two methods for sending data to (or receiving data from) a lock. One method is Direct PC communication to the lock and the other method is to use the AL-DTM-III (Data Transfer Module). When using a PC for communication, several options may be used for sending and receiving data. The data transmission may be segmented into User information, Schedules, Features Group Status and Time/ Date or All segments may be sent at one time. It is recommended that all data be sent at one time as this is also how the AL-DTM-III functions.

When using the AL-DTM-III, one of three options may be selected: "Send Program to Lock", "Receive Program From Lock" and "Receive Log". The following page includes instructions for the PC communication method. Please refer to the AL-DTM III section (see page 25) for AL-DTM-III communication instructions.

The Master Code MUST be changed at the keypad for all DL3000 / DL2800 locks before any other programming can begin. Once the Master Code has been changed, Users may be added to the lock and the PC-download function (Function 58) may be accessed. The DL3000 / DL2800 locks do not support a PC-Download User Code (User Code 298 in all other lock models). Please note that the above only applies to the DL3000 / DL2800 locks. All other lock models support the special function User Code 298 and do not require the Master Code be changed to access Program Mode (to access Program Mode, please refer to the appropriate lock programming manual). IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE DEFAULT MASTER CODE BE CHANGED ON ALL LOCKS TO MAINTAIN SECURITY!

User 298 Entering the User 298 User Code eliminates the necessity of entering a Master or Manager Code, entering Program Mode, and inputting Function 58. Simply enter User 298’s User Code to initiate PC communications with the lock. It is an option with all the locks except the DL2800, DL3000 and the PL series models. User 299 Enter the User 299 User Code to initiate communication between the AL-DTM-III and the lock. The User 299 code is used only for the AL-DTM-III and will not allow passage at the lock. This User does not require programming knowledge of the locks or of DL-Windows; the User simply connects the AL-DTM-III to the lock and enters the User 299 User Code at the keypad. Consult the specific lock programming manual to program User Codes 298 and 299.

The “LockID” is a method of ensuring that the correct data is communicated with the intended lock. Once the LockID is set, an error message appears if information is accidentally sent or received by the wrong lock. Beginning with DL-Windows version 3.5.x software, what was previously named the "Door Number" is now referenced as the "LockID". This name change was made to accommodate a Door Number greater than 96. As a result, utilizing Function 59 at the lock keypad is no longer supported by DL-Windows (version 3.5.x or greater) and the new version of the software must now be used to assign or change the LockID. With this new system, a LockID number of 1 through 2000 is used. When using a PC to communicate directly with the lock, the LockID is sent to the lock when Send “All” data or Send “Features” is selected. When “Send Program To Lock” is selected as the AL-DTM-III function, the LockID will be sent. (See following sections for explanations on these send options).

LockID Communication Overview

22

Connect the AL-PCI2 cable's DB-9 connector to a Serial Port at the rear of your PC (if your computer does not have an available Serial Port, a USB adapter is available – refer to Product Com-munication Examples section in this manual). Connect the other end of the AL-PCI2 cable to the lock, observing tab direc-tion (tab to black socket). The comm port setup is covered in the rear of this manual. 1. In DL-Windows, click the Comm button on the DL-Windows

toolbar and select Send to Lock. 2. The Send to Lock dialog box appears: 3. Start the communication at the lock keypad by either press-

ing the special function User 298 User Code at the keypad or by entering Program Mode and accessing Function 58, then click the Start button in DL-Windows.

"Verifying Lock Type" appears in the status window located at the lower left corner of the Send to Lock dialog box (see image below).

4. The Model Type, Lock Firmware Version and LockID # will

display on the screen. Verify that this information is correct. 5. If “Communicating” is not displayed after Step 3 (as shown in

the image below), then communications have failed. Check the following:

a. COM Port Selection b. Cable Connections

6. After the selected data transfer is complete, verify that the

message "Send To Lock Successful" is displayed in the status window of the Send to Lock dialog box.

Deselecting All allows you to send any combination of avail-

able data, i.e. only User Codes and Schedules, Features, Update Group Status, Time and Date or in any combination.

• All - Sends the complete program to the lock. • Users - Sends all User Information including User Enable/

Disable status, User Codes, Group Assignments, and Level Assignments (DL2800/ DL3000 only)

• Schedule - Sends all schedules (see Schedule section for more details)

• Features - Sends all features chosen in the Features screen (see Features section for more details)

• Update Group Status - Updates the Enabled/ Disabled status of Groups

• Time/ Date - Sends the PCs current time and date. Receiving data from the lock is equally as simple, as described in the following section.

Sending Data directly to the Lock from the PC

23

Receiving data from the lock is handled in a similar way as sending data to the lock. You can selectively decide what you want to receive from the lock (i.e. User Data, Schedules, Features or the Event Log). Use "Receive from Lock" to review changes to Users made at the lock.

As with the Send to Lock function, the Receive from Lock function is selected by clicking the Comm button on the DL-Windows toolbar, and then clicking Receive from Lock. The following dialog box appears: Uncheck All if you wish to select individual segments of the lock to be received.

If any of the Users entered at the lock keypad were found to duplicate existing User Codes in DL-Windows, the following screen will appear detailing those User(s) affected: DL-Windows will not allow duplicate User Codes. Changes to these duplicate codes should first be made in DL-Windows and then sent to the lock.

The appearance of the Lock Differences screen indicates that disparities were found between the information stored in DL-Windows and the information found in the lock.

Two types of events can occur to cause the Lock Differences screen to appear. The first is if new Users are added to the lock. The second is if changes to Users that exist in DL-Windows are made at the lock. When a "Receive All" or "Receive Users" is performed, DL-Windows will recognize these "differences" and display them in the following screen:

The differences can be User State (enabled / disabled), Prox Card information, User Code, Group Status and Level Status (DL2800/ DL3000 only). The screen tells you that there are differences, and you must make the changes in DL-Windows if you want them to be permanent. The columns in the Lock Differences screen are defined as follows:

User Status – The User Status column displays either Modified or Added.

Modified - Indicates that certain User data already exists in DL-Windows, and this User data was changed at the lock. Because DL-Windows will not automatically receive and accept User changes made at the lock, if you wish to retain the data displayed in the Lock Differences screen you must manually enter this data into DL-Windows.

Added - Indicates that DL-Windows has updated its software to include this User data (for "non-Admin" Users only). This User data did not previously exist in DL-Windows and no conflicts existed with any other User data in DL-Windows. Note: All additions or changes made to Admin Users at the lock keypad will display as "Modified", and will NOT be added to DL-Windows. Changes made to Admin Users MUST always be made in DL-Windows.

State – Indicates the existence of conflicting information regarding the Enabled/ Disabled status of the User.

Prox Card (on "P" series lock models only) – Displays proximity card information.

PC Code – Displays the User Code in DL-Windows and indicates the conflict with the Lock Code (the Lock Code is the User Code added at the lock).

Lock Code – Displays the User Code added at the lock.

Group 1 to 4 – Displays the Group assignment(s) of the User at the lock compared with DL-Windows. Added indicates that the User was added to the specified Group at the lock. Removed indicates that the User was assigned to the Group in DL-Windows, but was removed from the Group at the lock.

Level 1 to 4 (DL2800/ DL3000 only) – Displays Programming Levels for the User at the lock compared with DL-Windows. Added indicates that the User was added to the specified Programming Level at the lock. Removed indicates that the User was assigned to the Programming Level in DL-Windows, but was removed from that Programming Level at the lock (see lock programming manual for User Level definitions).

All schedule information received from the lock will be displayed in the Schedule View screen, and any pre-existing schedules in the Schedule View screen will be overwritten. See the Creating Schedules and TimeZones section for more information.

When receiving the Event Log from the lock into DL-Windows, the log can be viewed in the Event Log Viewer screen. Note: By default only the last 50 events are received from the lock. To receive more events, select the number of events in the Max. Event Log Length pull-down list (as shown in the image below). When using a PC, the complete log (up to a maximum of 40,000 events) can be received.

When Update Group Status is selected in the Receive From Lock dialog box, the Enabled/ Disabled status of the Groups is obtained and can be viewed in the Lock Data screen. A checkbox will appear for Groups 1 to 4, and all Groups checked are Enabled.

Note: UNCONDITIONAL FLASH ERASE erases all lock information and configured settings in the AL-DTM. To reset the AL-DTM to its factory default settings, remove the battery, press and hold the green button for 10 seconds, then replace the battery.

7. The unit may now be powered up with the new feature(s)

enabled. Once AL-DTM is configured, it is ready for use. If Door Select Mode was set to "ON" (in step 5 above), then the AL-DTM will power up in "OPERATION MODE", which offers two choices: SELECT and STD:

SELECT – If Select Mode is chosen (by pressing left button), you can choose between three modes: PC Comm Mode, Lock Mode, and Door Select Mode:

• PC Comm Mode is used to transfer programming between the PC and the AL-DTM.

• Lock Mode is used to transfer information between the AL-DTM and the Locks. The AL-DTM will automatically identify the LockID to which it is communicating.

• Door Select Mode is used to transfer program and assign LockID numbers from DL-Windows.

STD ("standard") – Standard Mode will automatically put AL-DTM in PC COMM MODE when communicating with DL-Windows and will put the AL-DTM in LOCK MODE when performing communications with the locks. Standard Mode should be used for all subsequent communication after LockID has been assigned.

Note: The AL-DTM will only allow the selection of a LockID for which it has valid data currently programmed. Care must be taken to that ensure the correct data is being transferred to the correct lock.

The AL-DTM may be configured for Foreign Language support and the Door Select feature (see below). Warning: Entering the following Configuration Mode will clear all data (lock information) from memory.

1. Place AL-DTM into PC COMM MODE. If not already in PC COMM MODE, press green button to enter this mode.

2. Press and HOLD both the left and green buttons on the AL-DTM. After several messages appear, release the buttons when the display reads:

When the display reads "CONFIG. LANGUAGE", the AL-DTM

has entered Configuration Mode. Note: Pressing the green button allows you to step through

each configuration option in turn; after the last option, the list repeats ("CONFIG. LANGUAGE" re-appears).

3. If you wish to configure the first option, Language, press and hold the green button (otherwise press and release the green button to skip to the next option shown in step 4).

Set the language (as shown above) with the left and middle

black buttons, then press the green button to select the language AND exit this option.

4. The next option appears: CONFIG. FOR DTM-III MODE. For DL-Windows 3.5x and above, this mode MUST be set to "ON". Therefore, enter this option by pressing and holding the green button. The following screen appears:

As shown above, the default setting is "ON". Press the green

button to both select DTM-III mode and exit this option.

5. The next option appears: CONFIG. DOOR SELECT MODE. Enter this option by pressing and holding the green button. The following screen appears:

As shown above, the default setting of "ON" should be

retained if LockID numbers have not yet been programmed and you wish to use the AL-DTM to assign a LockID number to existing locks, or if LockID numbers are to be changed. Otherwise set Door Select Mode to "OFF". Press the green button to select and exit this option.

Introduction

When computers cannot be transported or when electrical power is not available, the hand-held AL-DTM device acts as a go-between--it allows the transfer of lock data from the computer (through the AL-DTM) and to the lock, or in reverse (from the lock through the AL-DTM back to the computer). An AL-PCI2 cable is required when transferring from your PC to the AL-DTM. A double-ended mini banana plug connector is used when transferring data from the AL-DTM to the lock(s). Prior to DL-Windows v3.5, Door Numbers were used to ensure that each physical lock was correctly matched to its corresponding data when programmed. With DL-Windows v3.5 or later, the concept of a Door Number has been discontinued in favor of a new system of LockID's. When communications take place between DL-Windows and the lock(s), the LockID's must match in order for the data transfer to take place. If they do not match, communications will halt! DL-Windows must be used to assign LockID's and this can be performed in two ways, either:

• communicating directly with either "Send All" or "Send Features", thus updating the locks with the new "LockID" system

--or--

• with the AL-DTM, "Send Program to Lock" in the AL-DTM's Door Select Mode (see Configure the AL-DTM on page 25).

Door Select Mode should only be used when it is necessary to assign a LockID (usually first time programming of lock only). Thereafter, ANY AL-DTM communications should be performed in the "Lock Mode" of the AL-DTM. This will ensure that the information is being communicated correctly between DL-Windows and the Lock(s). The AL-DTM displays the word "Door" and not "LockID" when referring to door numbers (in the AL- DTM, both words are equivalent). Be sure to make note of the EXISTING User 299 User Code. You will need this code(s) later when transferring data from the AL-DTM to the lock(s). (See page 8 for a definition of User 299)

1. Plug the AL-PCI2 cable into the correct COM port in your PC and plug the 2-pin banana plug connector into the AL-DTM, observing correct tab direction.

2. Open an Account in DL-Windows, and double-click on any lock

inside the selected Account. For each physical lock to be programmed there must also be a corresponding lock in DL-Windows.

3. Click the DTM button and the DTM Support screen opens. In

this screen, desired tasks must first be pre-programmed in the DTM Function column. Therefore, for each lock that is to receive program data, click in the DTM Function column for the selected lock, click this arrow and the pull-down menu will display. Select the "Send Program to Lock" function.

Send Data from DL-Windows to the AL-DTM To send program to ALL locks available, right-click in the DTM

Function column and click Change All to "Send Program to Lock".

The AL-DTM also gives you the option of setting the date and

time of the lock (using the PC time). In the DTM Options box at the bottom of the screen, the "Set Lock Clock" is selected by default.

4. Transfer the Data Configuration to the AL-DTM. With the

AL-PCI2 cable correctly connected to the AL-DTM, click Program DTM for Selected Locks (in the DTM 3 Support screen). The following window will display:

Press the green button on the AL-DTM to enter 'PC COMM

MODE'. During data transfer to the AL-DTM, the following will display in the AL-DTM readout screen:

Following a successful data transfer to the AL-DTM, the AL-

DTM will emit several beeps (beeps are dependent on configuration Data) and display a "Comm. Complete." message followed by a display of current memory block status.

The AL-DTM, now filled with data, is ready to transfer the data

to the selected locks. The following messages will scroll back and forth on the AL-DTM.

AL-PCI2 cable) to retrieve the Event Logs from the AL-DTM. On the DTM Support screen, click Receive Data From the DTM for Selected Locks to receive the Event Logs stored in the AL-DTM.

The AL-DTM status window indicates successful

communications. 9. View Logs Received From the AL-DTM. Open the Event

Log Viewer screen for each lock Log.

The AL-DTM can be programmed to receive the program from the locks. Receiving the program can be a useful tool to monitor addi-tions or changes made at the lock as well as import locks into a new DL-Windows account. The procedure for receiving the program from the lock with the AL-DTM is similar to receiving logs. Click in the DTM Function col-umn for the selected lock, click the down arrow and select the "Receive Program" Function in the pull-down menu. Follow the same procedures in the section above to program the AL-DTM and retrieve data from the lock. Refer to Receiving Data from the Lock on page 23 for more infor-mation.

After all lock programming has been completed, the AL-DTM can be easily re-configured to retrieve event logs. 1. In DTM Support screen click in the DTM Function column for

the selected lock, click the down arrow and the pull-down menu will display. Select the "Receive Log" Function.

Multiple locks can be programmed to receive logs by right click-

ing in the DTM Function column and select "Change All to 'Receive Log."

One building may contain many locks. To add the same User to each lock again and again quickly becomes tedious. The solution is the Global Users screen. The Global Users screen allows you to enter a User's name and information ONCE, then quickly and easily add this User to any lock (up to 2000) in the Account, as well as designate the User's specific Location Number (within each lock) and User Code (Pin Number). In short, the Global Users screen allows you to control the status of all Users inside an Account (usually a single building) as well as their individual Programming Levels for each lock located in the Account. Press the Global button to Access the Global Users screen.

("Global") ID A Global ID is Account specific--it remains constant within Accounts only. A Global ID is not related to User Numbers nor Programming Levels, but acts as an internal designation within the program only. Note: The Global ID can be hidden from view. See note below.

Pin No. Same as a User Code. Enter changes in this field.

Comments Allows text up to 256 characters.

Locks Listed by LockID These boxes labeled 1-2000 each repre-sent individual locks in the Account. User status is presented in one of 4 colors: Gray--Not assigned (no lock exists). White--User not yet added to lock pro-

gramming. Green--User added to lock programming

and enabled. Red--User exists inside lock program-

ming, but is disabled.

ProxCard Data Use the AL-PRE to enroll ProxCards® and ProxKey® keyfobs, and these fields will automatically populate. Press Add Card to open the ProxCard Enrolling dialog. See page 17 for procedures.

Press Remove Card to remove all Prox information from all locks.

Prox Enroll Status This light indicates the status of the AL-PRE after enrolling a ProxCard®. (Green = OK, Red = Fail)

Personal Information This basic data helps to custom-ize and ensure correct identity.

User Name Names appear in this column when First Name and Last Name fields in this screen are populated. This field turns yellow when both a User Code and Prox information is re-quired. See page 18 for details.

Hide Pins Allows PIN numbers to be hid-den for increased security.

Add Administrative Users Allows manual assignment of Users to User Numbers, allowing Users to be assigned to specific Programming Levels within a lock. The range of programming tasks allowed by these Programming Levels are outlined in each lock's programming instructions.

Pin Number Each User can have the same Pin Number (User Code) for all locks in an Account. It is listed here for ease of viewing. Administra-tors can hide this column by pressing the Hide Pins button. This column is hidden for all other users (non-Administrators). When hidden, this column is hidden in this screen and also in the Lock Data screen.

Set Level Assignment Opens a new window, allowing the assignment of the User to a specific Level within a lock. Also allows a single user to be as-signed to different Levels in differ-ent locks within an Account. Note: Applies to DL3000 and DL2800 locks only. Level Assignments are prede-fined User Types (such as Mas-ter, Installer, Manager, Supervi-sor, and Print Only User). Each possess a specific range of pro-gramming tasks they are allowed to perform.

Click in this column to highlight User and view personal and Ac-count information. In this example, Dave Phillips is highlighted, dis-playing his User data in the win-dow.

NOTE:

The Global ID is a means of determining how many Users are listed within an Account. This "Global ID number" is used by the program only and has no relationship to where the User is lo-cated within a particular lock. The Global ID is not a User Number, and does not determine Pro-gramming Levels within locks.

"Global Users" Screen - Field and Button Definitions

"Set Administrative Users" Screen - Field Definitions

The Set Administrative Users screen is used assign Users to the administrative locations within the locks, determining their Programming Levels and therefore defining the range of programming tasks a User is allowed to perform. Press the Add Administrative Users button (on the Global Users screen) to Access the Set Administrative Users screen.

Personal Information This basic data helps to custom-ize and ensure correct identity.

Pin No. Same as a User Code. Enter changes in this field.

Set Group Assignment Opens a new window, allowing the assignment of the User to a specific Group within a lock. Also allows a single user to be assigned to differ-ent Groups in different locks within an Account.

Administrative Users are special in that they can perform programming tasks that non-Administrative ("Basic") Users cannot perform (such as chang-ing or adding new User Codes, etc.). Some of these Administrative Users are allowed more tasks than others, and the distinction between Users and their allowed tasks is known as a "Programming Level". (See the defini-tion of "Programming Level" on page 7).

Click a row in this column to highlight User and view personal and Account information. In this example, the Master Code is highlighted, displaying the default User information in the window, with the fields ready to be populated.

The Lock Data screen is used to view User Codes, Group Associations and Program Levels inside individual locks.

Also called User Access Codes or PIN No. Codes, User Codes are numbers the User enters into the lock keypad to unlock the lock or device. User Codes are entered via the Global Users screen. Administrators can hide this column by pressing the Hide Pins button. This column is hidden for all other users (non-Administrators).

This is the User Number inside the lock that determines the Programming Level of each User (see "Terminology" on page 7). Note: The PDL series locks can contain up to 2000 Users, and 300 Users for the DL3000/DL3500.

In this field, the First and Last Name entered in the Global Users screen is displayed. The Name will appear on any activity reports generated, such as in the Event Log Viewer screen. The default labels (such as "Supervisor 1") that appear in the Name column when a new lock is created are for reference only. As Users are assigned to each User Number "slots", the Name will appear in place of the default values shown.

Quick Tip: After entering Users and assigning Users to Location Numbers ("Slots") by using the Global Users screen (see page 29), use the Lock Data screen (shown at right) to view and confirm the User Location assignments made inside each individual lock. User Locations determine Programming Levels for each lock. Remember, Inside each lock: User Number = User Location = Location Number = Slot

(User Group Association) Each User can be associated with up to 4 Groups. Groups of Users can be enabled or disabled simultaneously. This User/Group association is typically based on the User’s department, or the shift to which the User is assigned. If any User attempts to access the lock outside of the Group's scheduled hours, the lock will deny entry.

Indicates the current status of the User. If the User is currently enabled, a will appear under the Enable column.

If clicked, the Send/Receive button will provide a shortcut to the Receive from Lock or the Send to Lock communication dialogs.

Click to close Lock Data screen.

Click to send to your default printer all data inside all columns and rows listed in the Lock Data screen.

Type in User name to be searched. For example, enter “Bob”. All names with “Bob” in the User Name will display.

This field is used to physically identify a ProxCard that has been assigned to a User. The number printed on the ProxCard (up to 9 digits) may be typed into this column. This is for reference only.

For DL3500 and PDL Series Locks only. Users that have been assigned a Group number can be enabled/disabled by checking or un-checking the associated box. NOTE: Group Enable data is not transferred by the AL-DTM.

The Facility Code is a site code on all ProxCards® and ProxKey® keyfobs, and is usually the same for all ProxCards® (but not printed on the card or fob). Usually, the site administrator can provide Facility Code information.

The Card Type specifies the format of the card being used (i.e. HID 37 bit format, etc. See pages 18-19). The Card Type is not printed on the card or fob itself, and usually the site administrator can provide this information.

The Card Code is usually laser-printed on the card or fob itself. If not printed on the card, see the site administrator for this information.

PDL4100/DL4100 & PDL4500/DL4500 Privacy and Residency Features

The 4100 series locks leave the factory as "Privacy" locks, with the below "Privacy Mode" as the default program. If you wish, 4100 series locks can be re-programmed as "Residency" locks (see below, "Residency Mode"). The following provides basic descriptions of the two modes. For more information, see WI1194 and/or WI1195. The 4500 series locks leave the factory as "Residency" locks, with the below "Residency Mode" as the default program. If you wish, 4500 series locks can be re-programmed as "Privacy" locks (see below, "Privacy Mode"). The following provides basic descriptions of the two modes. For more information, see WI1194 and/or WI1195. Note: Only PDL series locks provide PROX access. Although the below descriptions apply to PDL series locks, these descriptions can also apply to DL series locks, however all references to PROX features should be ignored. In addition, the 4100 series locks have a button on the exterior/outside of the locks, and the 4500 series locks have a deadbolt knob. Privacy Mode (Factory Default for 4100 Series Locks):

"Privacy Mode" is designed to allow access to individuals with access codes (or PROX cards) and is typically used for rooms needing privacy from others such as bathrooms, dorms and meeting rooms.

"Privacy Mode" initially provides a normally locked state. To enter, the user must use a User Code, key, or present a PROX card. Once in-side, the user presses the button (on 4100 series) or throws a deadbolt (on 4500 series) that disables the keypad (and PROX card reader), disallowing others to enter for a fixed amount of time ("Privacy Duration"). The red LED on the exterior/outside of the lock will blink--indicating the room is occupied. When the initial user exits, the 4100 series lock reverts back to its originally locked mode, again allowing access to any authorized users.

The Privacy Duration for the 4100 series lock can be programmed to disable User Code and PROX card access for up to 250 minutes. When active, all User Numbers 12 and higher are disabled, and User Numbers 1 - 11 (or a key) can always override this lockout feature by entering their User Codes and/or PROX cards. Programming: As shown in the images above, check "Disable Keypad/Prox on Button Press (or Deadbolt)" and select a Privacy Duration (default is 10 minutes, valid entries 001-250).

Residency Mode (Factory Default for 4500 Series Locks): The "Residency Feature" is provided to prevent a person from unintentionally having the door lock behind them when stepping outside briefly. Typically used in retirement homes and college dormitories.

"Residency Mode" initially provides a normally locked state. To enter, the user must use a User Code, key, or present a PROX card. The 4100 series lock will then re-lock when door is closed. However, turning the handle and exiting from the inside will unlock the 4100 series lock and set it to an unlocked state.

Any of the following will restore the lock to its normally locked state: (1) the user returns, enters, and presses the button (or throws the dead-bolt) from the inside; (2) someone already inside the premises presses the button (or throws the deadbolt); (3) pre-programmed scheduling; (4) entering a valid User Code, presenting a valid PROX card, or locking with a key. Programming: As shown in the images above, check "Cancel Passage on Button Press (or Deadbolt)", and "Leave Unlocked on Exit (Passage)".

These screens are used to program the Residency/Privacy options and features for the 4000 Series locks. The screens below display the DL-Windows screen defaults (which also reflect the "out of box" factory default programming). Shown below (left) a PDL4100 ("Privacy") lock and (right) a PDL4500 ("Residency") lock. Note: DL locks do not provide PROX access, therefore the DL lock screens do not reference PROX options.

Tools > Export Active Account to CSV This feature exports all User data from a DL-Windows Account and saves the data to a .CSV (comma separated values file) file. The .CSV file can then be imported into another Account using DL-Windows. Click Tools, Export Active Account to CSV on the menu toolbar to export data. For each .CSV file, each line in the file is one entry, and the fields in each entry are separated by commas. Exported .CSV files will be placed in the C:\DL-Windows\Export folder. When the Account has been converted to a .CSV file, the following popup appears:

Note: Two Files will be placed in the Export directory: • Acct3.csv - The exported file, in a comma delimited format. • Acct3.log - The error log file. If populated, this file will

reference the line number of the error in the .CSV file.

The file size of these Accounts will typically be larger than what a 1.44 MB floppy disc will hold. A ZIP Drive, memory stick or network drive is advised for transferring exported files. It may be possible to WinZip each file and place it on a floppy disc one file at a time, but that depends on the size of the Account.

The Tools > Import CSV File menu contains two import utilities to allow you to combine Users from one Account with another Account.

Before using either Import utility, first open the Account to which the data will be imported. If the Account does not yet exist, a new "test" Account can be created if desired. Next, transfer the files to the computer where the Accounts are to be restored and place the files in the DL-Windows Import directory (typically C:\DL-Windows\Import). Tools > Import CSV File > Import CSV File From DL-Windows

This feature imports a .CSV file (comma separated values file) created by the DL-Windows Export Active Account to CSV menu option (see "Exporting Data" above). Note: If any Users exported are not wanted, you can open this file in Excel and delete the unwanted entries (always delete the entire line and not part of a line).

Exporting and Importing Data Exporting Data

Tools > Import CSV File > Import CSV File From Excel This menu selection allows you to import a .CSV file that was created in MS Excel and saved as a .CSV file. To create the Excel file, open Excel and populate each cell as follows:

Cell A1 = First Name Cell B1 =Last name Cell C1 = Address Cell D1= City Cell E1= State Cell F1= Zip Code Cell G1 = Telephone Cell H1 = Social Security Number

To export the file from Excel as a comma separated values file, click File, Save As…, then in the Save as type: pull-down menu select CSV (MS-DOS) (*.csv). Note: Unused cells must be left blank.

Transferring Account Files Between PC's We recommend using a USB drive flash memory card when transferring DL-Windows Account files from one computer to an-other. To ensure a successful transfer, both computers must correctly operate with USB drive flash memory cards before per-forming this procedure. DL-Windows must not be running on either system. Note: The Tools, Import a Single ADF Ac-count File menu feature used in the procedure below is only supported by DL-Windows versions 3.5.5 and greater.

Account files exist in pairs: • Acctx.Adf is the Account file • Acctx_Log.adf is the Event Log for the Account file

In the example that follows, the names Acct2.adf and Acct2_Log.adf are used. Note that some Windows systems are not configured to display file extensions (you may only see Acct2 and Acct2_Log -- this is OK. Please proceed as if the file exten-sions are displayed. At the source computer (from which you want to transfer the DL-Windows Accounts), open Windows Explorer from the Start, Programs menu. Locate the DL-Windows installation folder (if you selected the default folders, look in "C:\DL-Windows"). Highlight the Account files you wish to transfer (hold down the "Ctrl" key and click on each file). Right-click the highlighted files and click Copy (see image below). Locate your USB drive in the left hand pane of the Windows Ex-plorer window. Click to select the USB drive, then right-click in the right hand pane and click Paste (see image below).

Remove the USB drive from the source computer and connect it to the target computer. Similar to the previous steps, at the tar-get computer, open Windows Explorer and locate the USB drive. Highlight the Account files to transfer, right-click and se-lect Copy. Locate and click to highlight the DL-Windows folder. Right-click in the right hand pane and click Paste. Launch DL-Windows. Click Tools, Import a Single ADF Ac-count File (see the image below). Note: The word "Single" in the menu refers to both Account files that were copied. Click Yes to the import question and an Open file dialog box ap-pears: Although both files that were copied appear, only select the Acct2.adf file and click Open.

Group 1 Member Activates a Relay

Like the previous example, other Group events can be programmed in a similar manner. Here are two examples: Group 1 User Enables Group 4 Users

Note: This feature corresponds to keypad programming Functions 92 and 93.

1. Using the Schedule-TimeZone screen, in the Schedule Entry area, select Enable Group 4 by Grp1-Open Window in the Event column. Next, create the "Enable Group 4 window" in the TimeZones area of the Schedule-TimeZone screen. This will allow any Group 1 User to enable Group 4 Users, if a Group 1 User Code is entered within this programmed "window".

2. Program a Group 1 User and a Group 4 User.

"Window" Example: Open window at 7:00AM and 8:30AM. Group 4 will be enabled when a User in Group 1 enters their User Code between 7:00AM and 8:30AM. Group 4 Users will have to wait outside the lock until a Group 1 User arrives to enable their User Codes. If a Group 1 User does not arrive between 7:00AM and 8:30AM, Group 4 will not be enabled.

Group 1 User puts lock in Passage Mode

Note: This feature corresponds to keypad programming Functions 88 and 89.

1. Using the Schedule-TimeZone screen, in the Schedule Entry area, select Passage Mode by Grp1-Open Window in the Event column. Next, create the "window" in the TimeZones area of the Schedule-TimeZone screen. The lock will unlock (enter Passage Mode) when any Group 1 User enters their User Code during the programmed "window".

2. Program a Group 1 User and a Group 4 User.

Note: Passage Mode will be maintained indefinitely unless disabled each night by using keypad Function 46 or by scheduling a lock closing.

"Window" Example: Program a "window" at 7:00AM and 8:30AM. The lock will unlock when a User in Group 1 enters their User Code between 7:00AM and 8:30AM. If no Group 1 member arrives between 7:00AM and 8:30AM to enter their User Code, the lock will stay locked all day.

This feature allows for a "window of time" to be created where if any Group 1 User Code is entered within the programmed "window", a relay will be activated for 2 seconds. This relay can be used with a burglar alarm control panel that has a key switch disarm option. If a Group 1 User does not enter their User Code during the specified "window", this feature remains inactive. This feature corresponds to keypad programming Functions 90 and 91.

Note: The alarm panel will have to be armed at night by the User or by an automatic schedule function of the alarm panel. 1. Connect terminals 5 & 6 (blue/yellow wires) to a burglar control

panel with switch input for disarming. 2. Program a User that is a member of Group 1. 3. Program the Relay (Group 1 Activated) as a Relay Function in the

Programmable Features window. Click Feat on the DL-Windows toolbar an select the Relay Functions tab. Check the box marked Scheduled (Group 1 Activated).

6. Click Switch to Sched. View

5. Create the "Relay Activation window" in the TimeZones area of the Schedule-TimeZone screen (above). In this example, program a "window" at 8:30AM to 10:00AM, Monday to Friday. The relay will close, one time only, when a member of group 1 enters their User Code between 8:30AM and 10:00AM.

4. Using the Schedule-TimeZone screen (below), in the Schedule Entry area, select Relay Activation by Grp1-Open Window in the Event column. If any Group 1 User Code is entered during the programmed "window", the relay will close for 2 seconds. Note: Only 1 relay closure will occur--even if a second Group 1 User Code is entered.

Advanced Programming--Group 1 Activated Events

Other Group 1 Activated Events

It is convenient for large numbers of similar Users to be grouped together. Placing Users into Groups (by assigning them specific User Numbers) allows large numbers of Users to be controlled all at once rather than individually--saving time. In the following examples, Users who are members of Group 1 are allowed to activate special lock features or other Groups of Users.

Managing Access to DL-Windows

Security Features in DL-Windows DL-Windows provides security and protection features, restricting un-authorized persons from accessing your DL-Windows program. When starting DL-Windows, all Operators or Administrators must first Log-On to access the program. The type of access (either “Operator” or “Administrator”) determines the types of tasks allowed within DL-Windows. Note: For non-Administrators, all Administrative functions are grayed-out within both the Global Users screen and the Options screen. The steps below can be accessed by Administrators only. Adding Users (for access to DL-Windows) Click Tools, Manage Users to open the Manage Users screen. In the Manage Users screen, click Action, Add User (or press CTRL+ A). In the Add User dialog (shown below), enter a User Name and the Full Name in the fields provided (the User Name will appear on the Log-On screen when starting DL-Windows). Select the access level by checking either Operator or Administrator in User Type. The user can be disabled by simply un-checking Enable User. Enter a pass-word (at least 4 characters) in the Password field and re-type the

password in the Confirm field to verify. When finished, click OK to save, or click Cancel to discard your changes. Editing and Deleting Users To edit existing users, either click Action, Edit User, press CTRL+ E, or double-click the user to open the Edit User dialog. All existing infor-mation can be edited, and when finished, click OK to save or click Cancel to discard your changes. To delete an existing User, click to highlight the user in the Manage Users screen, click Action, Delete User or press CTRL+ D. A confir-mation popup will appear. Click Yes to confirm the deletion, and click No to retain the user. Change Password: To change an existing password, click to highlight the user in the Man-age Users screen, click Action, Set Password (or press CTRL+ P). In the Change Password dialog, type the existing password in the Old Password field, type a new password in the New Password field and re-type the same new password in the Confirm field. Press f on your keyboard to accept the changes.

To select a Group Association, open the Global Users screen (click the Global button on the menu toolbar). Click the Set Group Assignment button and the Set Group Assignment for User dialog opens: Click in the numbered boxes under the LockID numbers to assign Groups to the User, as shown. The boxes clicked will turn green, confirming the Group number status for the User. Note: You can also hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard and click multiple selections, as necessary. Check the Add User to Group (X) checkboxes to "Globally" assign all of that User's locks to Groups. When finished, open the Lock Data screen to verify the addition(s). To change the Program Authority Levels (1-4) for each user, in the Lock Data screen (shown above) double-click in the box that intersects the Level number (column) and the User Name (row). Double-clicking adds a check mark to the box, thus defining the Program Authority Level for that User. The above screen image displays the default Level and Group settings for a newly added DL3000 lock. (Defaults are the same for a DL2800 lock).

Initiates AL-DTM Communications (User 299)

The AL-DTM is used to transfer Lock Programs (and other data) between DL-Windows and PL3000 locks. When com-puters cannot be transported or when electrical power is not available, the hand-held AL-DTM acts as a go-between--it allows the transfer of lock data from your PC (through the AL-DTM) to the lock, or in reverse (from the lock through the AL-DTM back to your PC). Requires an AL-PCI2 cable when transferring from your PC to the AL-DTM. A double-ended mini banana plug connector is used when transferring data from the AL-DTM to the PL3000 lock(s) (see page 4 for de-tails).

Function Card #2 initiates communications. Note: Function Card #2 does not unlock the PL3000. Important: All PL3000 locks arrive from the factory configured as Door #1. If the PL3000 lock data inside the AL-DTM is associated with a door number OTHER than door number 1, you MUST select the door number in the AL-DTM before transferring data to the lock. This will ensure that the proper data inside the AL-DTM will be matched to the correct lock. The procedure below describes this process: Note: The AL-DTM must be configured for Door Select Mode.

SEND PROGRAM TO LOCK (THROUGH THE AL-DTM)

1. Send Lock Program from DL-Windows to the AL-DTM, "Send Program to Lock" by connecting the AL-PCI2 cable (or AL-PRE) to the AL-DTM.

2. Connect the AL-DTM to the Lock. Connect the double-ended banana plug into the AL-DTM and into the lock that is to be programmed (observing proper tab direction).

3. Press the Green Button on the AL-DTM until the AL-DTM displays the following: 4. The AL-DTM will display the following: 5. Using the black keys, change the "CURRENT DOOR" value until the door number is reached. If the door number

is 8, the AL-DTM will display the following: 6. The AL-DTM will display the following: 7. Present Function Card #2 to the lock. The AL-DTM will display the following: Packet Numbers will go up until all packets have been transferred to the lock. The Lock will continue to beep while in

communication with the AL-DTM. 8. At the end of the transfer process, the PL3000 will sound a series of beeps. You can disconnect the AL-PCI2

cable. The following will display: 9. Test New User Cards. Verify that each new user Card allows access when presented to the lock. Test each

lock that has been programmed. To receive information from the lock to the AL-DTM, see next page.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When programming is sent from DL-Windows (or an AL-DTM) to the lock, Function Cards 1, 2, 8, and 9 will be overwritten with the existing data in DL-Windows for the User Locations 298, 299, 297 and 300, respectively. Therefore, to continue to use Function Cards 1, 2, 8 and 9 that were enrolled at startup with DL-Windows, be sure to enroll those same Function Cards 1, 2, 8 and 9 used at startup into the correct locations within DL-Windows.

RECEIVE PROGRAM FROM THE LOCK TO THE AL-DTM

DL-Windows must be first used to instruct the AL-DTM to "Receive Program From Lock" via the DTM Support screen. This way, when the AL-DTM is connected to the PL3000 lock, the AL-DTM will perform the correct operation. 1. Connect the AL-DTM to the Lock. Connect the double-ended banana plug into the AL-DTM and into the lock

that is to be programmed (observing proper tab direction). 2. Press the Green Button on the AL-DTM until the AL-DTM displays the following: The AL-DTM displays the following: 3. Present Function Card #2 to the lock. The AL-DTM will display the following: Packet Numbers will go up until all packets have been transferred to the AL-DTM. The Lock will continue to beep

Waiting for Lock Power Up or Code

SPECIAL NOTE: WHEN USING AN AL-DTM-III

The procedure below is required only when a PC or DTM communication Function Card is not presently enrolled in the lock; i.e. the lock is new ("out-of-box"), or the lock has had all programming erased (restoring factory default). PC/DTM Communications With the development of the AL-DTM-III and the latest ver-sions of DL-Windows, communications using the AL-DTM-III requires the presentation of Function Card #2 twice. Therefore the AL-DTM "299" Function Card #2 must be enrolled into the lock prior to using the AL-DTM-III. In ad-dition, you can no longer use power up programming to establish communications with the AL-DTM-III.

Procedure: All lock programming MUST be erased to restore the "out of box" factory default, as detailed in "ERASE ALL PRO-GRAMMING" in the PL3000 programming instructions (WI1280). After erasing all lock programming, the PL3000 waits for a proximity card to be presented. Therefore, pre-sent a proximity card (to place the lock into "learn mode"), then immediately present the first two Function Cards (card #1 for initiating PC communications, card #2 for initi-ating AL-DTM communications). After cards #1 and 2 have been presented and enrolled, wait for the lock to time-out and lock. Now the PL3000 can be programmed by the PC or the AL-DTM-III.

Glossary

55

Trilogy® is a registered trademark of Alarm Lock. HID and Microsoft Windows are trademarks of their respective companies.

Glossary (cont'd) KEYPRESS = Pressing a button on the Lock’s Keypad. LEVEL ABILITY = Predefined User Types (such as Master, Installer,

Manager, Supervisor, and Print Only User) have specific abilities to program and/or control the lock.

"LOCKID" = Identification of each door with a specific number--or in

other words, a number representing an individual lock within an Account. No longer entered through AL-59. For use with the AL-DTM-III (for the AL-DTM or the AM-DTM-III, see glossary entry "Door Number".

The new LockID format was developed to increase the number of locks allowed per Account (now up to 2000 locks). As a result of this increase, the ability to change the Door Number (now called LockID) at the lock keypad is no longer used. DL-Windows (versions 3.5.3 and greater) software must now be used to change the LockID. When DL-Windows version 3.5+ data is sent to the lock, this LockID is updated.

If you wish to receive data from the lock before data is sent, the new "Update LockID" option in DL-Windows version 3.5+ will change or update the LockID. In addition, the current keypad Function 59 (in Programming Mode) is no longer allowed, and is consequently ignored by the DL-Windows software.

LOCKOUT ATTEMPTS = A specified number of invalid User Code

entries (1-9), that will disable the keypad for a predefined period of time (1-60 seconds).

LOCKOUT TIME = A predefined time (1-60) seconds that the lock will

stop accepting User Codes, after a specified number of invalid User Code entries (1-9).

LOG = See... AUDIT TRAIL. MANAGER = See... CODE, MANAGER CODE. MASTER = See... CODE, MASTER CODE. PASSAGE = Allow anyone to pass through the door without USER

CODES (door is unlocked). PRINTER = A printout device such as an infrared printer or computer

printer. PRIVACY MODE (Factory Default for 4100 Series Locks):

"Privacy Mode" is designed to allow access to individuals with access codes (or PROX cards) and is typically used for rooms needing privacy from others such as bathrooms, dorms and meeting rooms.

PROGRAM MODE = A mode allowing program/data to be entered
